Fanos Province in the southern part of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Soro Mountain Range north of Noah City.
Lin Xiao stepped into the area and found it was quite close to Holy Soul Village.
But...
"Feng Yu, are you sure there's a Living Volcano here? The scenery looks pretty good to me!"
Lin Xiao gazed around.
The continuous mountain range resembled the spine of a beast, with verdant green peaks. In the gentler areas below the mountains, there were many houses and fields planted with crops.
Feng Yu affirmed:
"There is indeed a Living Volcano below. The soil here is rich in nutrients, so it's normal for the scenery to be beautiful."
Feng Yu stood on Lin Xiao's shoulder, looked around, and finally pointed in one direction, signaling Lin Xiao to fly there.
Lin Xiao unfurled his Crimson Sky Flame Phoenix Wings and flew towards that mountain range at an extremely fast speed.
Gradually, he could smell a scent of sulfur.
"Alright, it's here."
Feng Yu pointed to a spot below, telling Lin Xiao to stop there.
Lin Xiao and Feng Yu descended.
Sure enough, at the high altitude shrouded in clouds, at the top of a certain peak, there was a sunken crater, which was the passage for magma eruptions.
"Although this kind of volcano is active, it has a long dormant period after each eruption, so it's normal for residents to live below it."
Lin Xiao looked around.
The crater was currently closed.
He couldn't imagine how to get in.
Fortunately, after arriving at the destination, Feng Yu began to explain to Lin Xiao.
"Lin Xiao, all Living Volcanoes are connected to the earth's veins, and the energy required for my Nirvana is extremely huge, and only by borrowing the earth's veins can it be completed."
"During my Nirvana process, you just need to protect me outside. After my Nirvana, I will be able to restore a kind of ability, and you, as the signer of my Blood Contract, will also be able to possess my ability."
Lin Xiao understood this.
After all, the three types of flames he had painstakingly cultivated could be mobilized by Feng Yu.
"This is only my first Nirvana, and it won't take too long, but because my Nirvana relies on Feng bone, not Phoenix Feather, it may take half a year."
"During these six months, you can move freely and don't worry about me. I am in the center of the Living Volcano, deep in the earth's veins, so it is absolutely safe."
"Of course, if you are interested, you can connect to my feelings and experience the mystery of my Nirvana, which should be beneficial to you."
Since Feng Yu's rebirth, he had been with Lin Xiao almost every day.
Several years had passed in the blink of an eye, and now they suddenly had to separate for a period of time.
She really wasn't used to it.
Therefore, her constant nagging at this time actually seemed a bit long-winded, with a bit of a housekeeper vibe.
Lin Xiao straightened his body and gave Feng Yu a salute.
"Yes, ma'am!"
"I guarantee to complete the mission!"
Feng Yu rolled her eyes. Although she didn't know what the salute meant, she could roughly guess.
It was just Lin Xiao being weird.
"Alright, I'm going to start my Nirvana now."
After Feng Yu finished speaking, she flew into the sky, and then her body began to burn.
As the burning became more and more intense, it gradually became impossible to see her shape, but instead evolved into a pure mass of flames, forming a Phoenix totem.
Immediately afterwards, the Phoenix totem rushed towards the crater.
It actually went straight through!
Lin Xiao's expression moved slightly.
He slowly closed his eyes, and through his Blood Contract with Feng Yu, he entered an extremely mysterious state.
It was as if... he had turned into a pure ball of fire?
Then, there was a rush of heat, which seemed to be connected to the depths of the earth's veins, conveying the heat of the earth's core and...
That vitality that was at its peak!
"Boom—Boom—Boom—"
Lin Xiao even felt as if he could hear the pulse of the earth.
So that's how it is?
The reason why Feng Yu chose a Living Volcano to assist her Nirvana was because the Living Volcano was connected to the earth's veins, where she could not only borrow the fire and heat of the earth's veins.
Moreover, she could also feel the earth's majestic vitality.
The earth's core is the heart of the earth!
The volcano is the pulse of the earth!
Phoenix Nirvana, in the final analysis, isn't it also the ultimate manifestation of vitality?
Never extinguished, always full of vitality!
Lin Xiao had some deeper understanding of Phoenix Nirvana in his mind. This would not bring him an increase in combat power at the moment, but it could help him to Nirvana into a real Phoenix in the future!
For some reason.
Lin Xiao seemed to taste some earnest teachings from Feng Yu.
Wo Ri, while I have been raising Feng Yu as a daughter all along, Feng Yu has also been raising me as a son!
...
The residents who have lived under the volcano for generations have recently noticed something unusual.
As the days and months passed, gradually transitioning from summer to autumn, the climate showed no signs of cooling down.
"It seems hotter this year than in previous years!"
"Hot weather is good, means a bountiful harvest of rice!"
Several farmers sat on the ridges of the fields, chatting about the legends of the volcano.
"Outsiders hear that we live near a Living Volcano and get scared out of their wits. Some, not understanding, even advise us to move away. But how long have we lived here?"
"The volcano is alive. It looks like it could bring Destruction, but it holds life within it!"
"They don't understand that Destruction and life are intertwined. Without life, there is no Destruction, and without Destruction, there is no life to speak of!"
The words of these old farmers actually contained some philosophical truths.
If Lin Xiao were to hear them, he might think these old farmers were reclusive experts.
But in reality, these are things passed down through generations.
And this Living Volcano isn't as scary as one might imagine. It only erupts once every long period, and when it does, people can be evacuated in time.
They live on the edge of the mountain range, giving them time to move.
...
Time passes, and years are unknown in the mountains.
During Feng Yu's Nirvana, Lin Xiao cultivated when he had nothing to do, or he calmed his mind to carefully comprehend the state of Feng Yu during Nirvana.
He felt the Destruction contained within the vigorous life deep in the earth's veins, or the mystery of life brewing within the terrifying Destruction.
As for the problem of food.
Well, there's no need to worry about that. In such a large mountain range, there are plenty of ingredients and water sources, and Lin Xiao's Storage Soul Tool is filled with many seasonings and utensils.
He even lived a pretty carefree life.
Fulfilling his past desire for seclusion.
Then, he felt that the outside world was much more fun!
Lin Xiao missed Ling Ling and the others, as well as Aunt Qingxian, Senior Dugu...
"Calculating the time, Feng Yu should be coming out soon, right?"
"I'm really looking forward to it..."
There is one more chapter, to be released in 20 minutes.
